The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) Consortium amis to provide a atlas of tissue-specific gene expression and regulation in livestock species.
The PigGTEx resource is out now (https://t.co/afultip2u1). Congratulations to @LingzhaoF@QGG_AU and the global team. Here is the BioRxiv version: https://t.co/sQROcs4nU8. Hope you enjoy it. Please help spread it widely. Thanks!
The🐷GTEx is here. Regulatory variants (eQTLs, sQTLs and more) across 34 tissues in pigs and lots of follow-on analyses. Great work from the FarmGTEx consortium led by @LingzhaoF.
I am so thrilled to share our PigGTEx resource, as part of the FarmGTEx project. Here we provide the first comprehensive atlas of regulatory variants (e.g., eQTL) across 34 tissues in pigs, and show its importance in studying complex trait genetics and human biomedicine.
How cool is that, the CattleGTEx paper has made the Nature Genetics cover😎. Current issue contains both, research briefing on paper and FarmGTEx 🧑🌾🧬🐄🐷🐔more broadly (https://t.co/piL5nwNwzp) and the paper itself (https://t.co/blgfAMEjxU)
It is soooo cool to see that the CattleGTEx made @NatureGenet Cover! Welcome to join the next phase of CattleGTEx. Please contact [email protected] for more details. The FarmGTEx website (https://t.co/OAMwrfKIFF) will be online soon.
‼️ The September issue of @NatureGenet is out!🤩
Featuring:
✅ A method to map sQTLs
✅ Autism genetics
✅ Physical activity GWAS🏃🏾♀️
✅ Genetic risk of Crohn's disease
✅ Genomics of paediatric ALL
✅ Somatic variation in hiPSCs
AND MUCH MORE‼️

Yao, Liu, @CharleyASummer, Gao, Pan, Liu, @LingzhaoF, @AlbertTenesa & co compare the transcriptomes of human and cattle from 20 tissues. Much about expression, including eQTLs, are conserved between the species. Heritability is higher for conserved genes https://t.co/5UwIbUnXTh
This is a great moment for the FarmGTEx project. Our pilot CattleGTEx work is online in @NatureGenet now. The new phase of CattleGTEx is starting now. Please contact if you are interested in. Together we build a comphensive FarmGTEx atlas!

"For many decades claims have been made that quantitative genetics was dead or dying but, condescendingly, perhaps still useful until the contents of the black box were revealed, a feat which would be ‘just round the corner’. " - William G. Hill https://t.co/BijX39M5Zm
